There's nothing the MSM loves more than a renegade Republican. The GOP maverick-of-the-MSM-week is David Kuo. He is the former #2 man in the Bush administration's Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, and has written a book, Tempting Faith, claiming that the operation was a cynical attempt to woo faith-based voters who top aides including Karl Rove looked on contemptuously.
Chris Matthews predictably had Kuo on this afternoon's Hardball. At one point, Matthews asked whether President Bush has "used faith to get votes" and then "how about the issues like stem cell - do you think he's using them politically?"
Replied Kuo:
"I think you're conflagrating a couple of different things here."
I had to laugh. "Conflating" is one of those 50-cent words that every DC pundit seemingly works into his lexicon, and here Kuo - trying a bit too hard for erudition - had mangled it.
You might say Kuo was . . . en fuego!
Hardball/NewsBusters up-in-flames ping to Today show list.
How many TV's do you break in a year after watching this sort of nonsense like Matthews, et.al? Do LCD or Plasma displays take shots from shoes better?
Conflate: To bring together; meld or fuse
Conflagrate: To bring together; meld or fuse; THEN set ablaze...
As I've explained in the past, to protect my TV from myself, I have placed it behind a chicken wire fence like the one the Blues Brothers played behind in the country music road house ;-)
Oops, LOL. He was on with Laura Ingraham too. He's a weasel, won't answer a direct questions. Mostly I think he just wants to sell his dumb book
Oh, and he says that he is completely innocent in the timing of the book's release. He says that his contract required its release in early 2007. It must be a very poorly written contract.
My question for David Kuo is, why release this book right before a hotly contested election when you know if it is believed it will suppress GOP turnout and help Democrats who any REAL Christian Conservative would agree will be horrible on the issues Christians hold deer?? Why David if your motives are so pure and you're so free of any agenda or guile??
We know why David. You're a Pat Buchanan type out to punish the "neo-cons" as you see it and to bring down the GOP for its lack of ideological purity. But I think it won't impact a damned thing. You mention a couple unnamed people at the White House as making disparaging remarks at Christians, yet the president himself is a conservative Christian and isn't named, nor his inner circle, of being contemptous of Christians.
So you got nothing David. Slither away back into blissful obscurity to slip your nose back up Buchanan's rectum or whatever Bush hating demagogue whose interests you're serving. You're barely even a blip on anyone's radar screen and you won't even have so much as 15 minutes of fame son.
And if your agendized, Democratic-assisting rag isn't on the 99 cent table at the local bookstore and car wash by Christmas, I'll eat my hat.
And by the way, when would Pissy Matthews EVER deign to have a Christian conservative on his show if they espoused conservative views and the Bush presidency. That should tell you where Kou is coming from and the kind of people he's being used by. I might add, Buchanan and Pissy are ideological soulmates these days and can't get enough of one another. I'm sure he's the one fronting Kou.
Thank God I don't watch these morons. My TV replacement rate would go waaaay up.
You should see the DUmmies urging each one of us to go out and read this book and fall for the garbage. Hell, I'm half convinced that they'll have a fundraiser over there so they can buy every one of us that book before the month is out.
David Kuo is making the rounds, was on Laura Ingraham's show this morning. He was interviewed by Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes, and I've seen him on several other shows.
He says, "George Bush is a good man, he never mocked evangelical Christians. Kuo also says he never saw or heard Karl Rove disrespect evangelicals. But his interviewers don't want to hear any of that.
none....I like 99% of the world would never watch this a-hole and the shi-ite he has on his lib/dem programs...when you search out clymer...chrissy mathews is front & center!!!

Some poster on a previous story sad Kuo is working as an "intern" for Teddy Kennedy. I have not been able to confirm that.
Interesting if true. Let me know if you dig anything up on that. My sense is more that he's part of that right wing Bush hate cabal lead by the likes of Pat Buchanan, Mike Savage and those others from the far right, Jew hating Star Wars bar scene.
If you Google Kuo and Teddy Kennedy the first entry that comes up says he worked for Kennedy before going to work in the Bush White House. A Dem plant?
Also his bio on Beliefnet.com where he's a columnist says he worked for a lot of Republicans but also Kennedy and Gary Hart.
....because he wouldn't have gotten a fat advance otherwise? By the way, did we hear what his advance was? The left probably doesn't care if he sells a single book. They have had their week of bashing the White House right before the election.
Book Says White House Abuses Evangelicals
Former senior presidential aide David Kuo has written a book accusing the Bush administration of privately ridiculing evangelicals. The book is “Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction.” Kuo portrays the Bush White House's commitment to evangelical causes as little more than a cynical facade designed to win votes.
“Bush is in league with the devil,” Kuo said. “Secret satanic rites were held in the White House basement during every full moon. Children would be roasted and eaten. I saw it all with my x-ray vision.”
The events were often accompanied by cruel humor according to Kuo. “One time, Bush cracked ‘I will eat no child’s left behind,’” Kuo said. “This set off gales of laughter. These are sick, sadistic bastards.” According to Kuo, the children sacrificed were all obtained from orphanages run by evangelicals.
Additional accusations include the charge that Vice-president Chenney is a werewolf and Condolezza Rice a vampire. “I have seen Chenney savagely mutilate staffers,” said Kuo. “One time a bat flew at me. I knew it was Condi.”
Kuo says that a super sunscreen formula developed by the military-industrial complex was what enabled Secretary of State Rice to appear during daylight hours. “You know sun light is fatal to vampires,” Kuo explained. “But Condi has a special cream that blocks its harmful rays. That’s how she can go out in the daytime.”
Kuo said that he didn’t come forward with this information earlier because his agent advised him that it would be more profitable to expose these horrors by writing a book.
